The cables will consist each of 37 strands containing D.472 parallel galvanized wires, made in uu open-hearth furnace, lined with silica.

The steel piers of the Manhattan Bridge will reach a height of 322 feet to the cable line and about feet to the top of the ornamentation. A cross-section of the plan for this bridge shows eight car tracks two "to Manhattan surface connections," two "to Manhattan subway," two "elevated to Manhattan terminal" and two "Brooklyn trolley to Manhattan loops." A H.Vfoot roadway extends in the center of the bridge betweeii the railroad tracks, while fool walks, 12 feet wide each, are on cither side directly overlooking the water. It will he about six times greater than that of the Brooklyn Bridge. Its dead weight will be about 2.1.0(H) pounds per linear foot and will bear a congested load of 10,000 pounds per linear foot.

and to permit peddlers to sell their wares in any pottion of such districts and to travel from street to street. In the restricted districts the number of pushcarts is to be limited to four carts on each street block, one at each of the four corners, but twenty-live feet back from the corner. These stations will be disposed of at public auction to the highest bidder once a ulated by an automatic system which will check congestion. Xeariy all of the peddlers are foreigners, principally Hebrews, Italian and Greeks. The report says that their average weekly earnings are from $12 to $15.

The commission recommends: That the city be divided Into two broad districts, to be known as "restricted" and "unrestricted" districts. The restricted districts are to be the con gested tenement quarters, for example, in Manhattan the entire part of the city south of Fourteenth street, east of Broadway to the East River, as far south as the Brooklyn Bridge; the unrestricted districts are to be the rest of the borough. Two kinds of licenses are to be issued traveling licenses and stationary licenses the former to good only In the unrestricted districts carts iu certain streets, it is declared, has no relation whatever to the needs of the population in such neighborhoods, and that the pushcart peddlers could be abolished from the streets of Xew York without loss or injury to any one but the peddlers themselves and their families. Such drastic action, however, is not necessary, provided the number of pushcarts on each street is properly reg throughout all parts of the city, but that in some quarters great congestion prevails; that in many streets the pushcarts stand In unbroken lines on both sides of the street for many blocks; that this condition interferes seriously with traffic and that it adds materially to fire dangers by impeding nud hindering fire engines and other apparatus In promptly attending tires. This crowding of push commission appointed by Mayor McClellan to investigate the pushcart problem and to formulate remedies for the existing evils has reported that there are between 4,000 and 5,000 pushcart peddlers plying their trade in the streets of New Tork; that these peddlers are not etpially distributed.
